Rock Sparrow - Killington 350 - Babette

The rock sparrow is a small European sparrow with soft buff and brown coloring. Our Rock Sparrow colorway echoes the bird's plumage and eggs with a creamy buff base speckled with shades of brown and dark gray. The overall look will be a warm neutral with gentle variations.

This yarn is speckled: it has a tonal-colored background shade peppered with small dark specks and spots of dye. Each skein is different in terms of speckle distribution and placement. We will do our best to choose multiple skeins that coordinate well.

This colorway is a Babette: every skein and every batch is a bit different, but Babs has a method of recreating these artistic colorways. The photograph is an example of representative skeins from this colorway; the skein you receive may differ somewhat. If you have any questions about the color, please give us a call or email to ask for a photo - we are always happy to describe our current batch for you to make sure it meets your needs!
